Description |
Pc(18:1(9z)/18:2(9z,12z)) is also known as pc(18:1/18:2) or 1-oleoyl-2-linoleoyl-gpc. Pc(18:1(9z)/18:2(9z,12z)) is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Pc(18:1(9z)/18:2(9z,12z)) can be found in a number of food items such as quinoa, strawberry, common grape, and cucumber, which makes pc(18:1(9z)/18:2(9z,12z)) a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Pc(18:1(9z)/18:2(9z,12z)) can be found primarily in blood, saliva, and urine, as well as throughout all human tissues. In humans, pc(18:1(9z)/18:2(9z,12z)) is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis PC(18:1(9Z)/18:2(9Z,12Z)) and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis PE(18:1(9Z)/18:2(9Z,12Z)). |
